Brazilian bourbon coffee, beans, iron pickup or bourbon? Iron pickup coffee bean price

Iron pickup "Typica" iron pickup, the name sounds majestic, but in fact it is not so strong. It has weak physique, poor disease resistance, easy to catch rust leaf disease and less fruit yield. It is one of the oldest native varieties in Ethiopia, and many Arabica are derived from iron pickups!

The parietal leaf of the iron pickup is bronzed, and the bean grain is large, pointed, oval or thin. Everyone is familiar with the well-known Mantenin, Blue Mountain, Elephant Bean, Kona, Yunnan Dou …... Wait. They are all derived from iron pickups.

Bourbon "Bourbon" bourbon is an ancient and excellent variety juxtaposed with iron pickup, and some botanists believe that bourbon is an early variety of iron pickup transplanted to Yemen.

Bourbon is almost all round beans, beans are a little smaller than tin card, ripening later, but the yield is 30% more than tin card. It is suitable for growing above 1200 meters above sea level, and its flavor is obviously more prominent than those below 1000 meters, but bourbon has a disadvantage that it will rest for a year as a result. Round bourbon is full of vitality, and its resistance to rust leaf disease is better than that of iron pickup, but its flavor is as good as it, or even better.

In 1810, some of the round beans in Bourbon Island mutated into pointed beans, which is known as the "pointed bourbon". It is characterized by a caffeine content of only half, low output, weak physique, and extremely rare, just like a weak aristocratic teenager.
